Variety Of Totems
by chowiekomba
Variety Of Totems gives death-triggered totems with special abilities, each one dropped by a boss or a hostile mob.
What it does
Each totem is activated on death and carries its own ability. The mod adds a Totem Shard, plus Green, Blue, Purple, Black and White totems. Vex, Ravager, Ender Dragon and Warden drop Totem Shards, which are the material for building the others.
The abilities differ: one spawns slime blocks in a 3x3 grid below the player and flings air, another gives low-durability diamond armor into a free slot, and others teleport the player ten seconds into the past, kill up to five hostile mobs within a 20-block radius, or put the player into spectator mode for five seconds. When armor is handed out, the totem checks the chestplate, leggings, helmet and boots slots in order, and it adds armor only once.
Fabric API is required. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.4.0 for 26.2 as the latest file. The license is custom and the code is not open source. McQoy is an optional dependency that allows the config to be edited through a GUI on the client or in single-player, and QoMC is another optional dependency that allows editing through commands, mainly on servers.

How it compares
More Totem is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server for 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, so it covers an older version range. Even More Totems targets only 1.21.1 and is released under All rights reserved, while Disable Totems covers 26.1 – 26.2 under the MIT License but is not open source. Totem Counter is client-side only and has no effect on gameplay.
